How to Use Shimmering Matte Acrylics to Add Shimmer to Your Scrapbooking Layout

Good morning, friends! Nicole here, sharing a fun scrapbooking layout to get you in the mood for St. Patrick's Day! I'm going to share a few fun ways to use Matte Shimmering Acrylics to your projects.

To begin, I used a paint brush to apply Spring Green Shimmering Matte Acrylics to the watercolor paper. Next, I used the paint brush to add water all over the watercolor paper to create a nice Spring Green background for the layout. After the paint was completely dry, I taped down the stencil. Next, I grabbed a palette knife to pull the Frosted Pine Polishing Plaster through the stencil.


Four-step artwork process: green paint on white paper, red cup, purple tape border, stenciled hearts on patterned paper backgrounds.

I've been itching to use this fun stamp set...and thought it would be fun to color in the images using markers with a touch of Beehive Shimmering Matte Acrylics to make the coins sparkle!

I abosluletely love all the texture and color on this layout. Isn't this fun! As you can see, mixed media doesn't need to be complicated...Play and experiment...and repeat your favorite techniques over and over again.
